| Douay-Rheims | Septuagint (Sixtine edition, 1587) | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Often have they fought against me from my youth, let Israel now say. | Ὠδὴ τῶν ἀναβαθμῶν. Πλεονάκις ἐπολέμησάν με ἐκ νεότητός μου, εἰπάτω δὴ Ἰσραήλ· |
| 2 | Often have they fought against me from my youth: but they could not prevail over me. | Πλεονάκις ἐπολέμησάν με ἐκ νεότητός μου, καὶ γὰρ οὐκ ἠδυνήθησάν μοι. |
| 3 | The wicked have wrought upon my back: they have lengthened their iniquity. | Ἐπὶ τὸν νῶτόν μου ἐτέκταινον οἱ ἁμαρτωλοὶ, ἐμάκρυναν τὴν ἀνομίαν αὐτῶν. |
| 4 | The Lord who is just will cut the necks of sinners: | Κύριος δίκαιος συνέκοψεν αὐχένας ἁμαρτωλῶν. |
| 5 | Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate Sion. | Αἰσχυνθήτωσαν καὶ ἀποστραφήτωσαν εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω πάντες οἱ μισοῦντες Σιών. |
| 6 | Let them be as grass on the tops of houses: which withered before it be plucked up: | Γενηθήτωσαν ὡσεὶ χόρτος δωμάτων, ὃς πρὸ τοῦ ἐκσπασθῆναι ἐξηράνθη· |
| 7 | Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand: nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom. | Οὗ οὐκ ἐπλήρωσεν τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ ὁ θερίζων, καὶ τὸν κόλπον αὐτοῦ ὁ τὰ δράγματα συλλέγων. |
| 8 | And they that have passed by have not said: The blessing of the Lord be upon you: we have blessed you in the name of the Lord. | Καὶ οὐκ εἶπαν οἱ παράγοντες, εὐλογία Κυρίου ἐφʼ ὑμᾶς, εὐλογήκαμεν ὑμᾶς ἐν ὀνόματι Κυρίου. |
